2 ames e, sm ars for, wrantmsvnra, mmam- Be it knownthat .1, JAMES V. MI'roiIELL,

a, citizen' of the United States, residing at -Mantinsville, in the county of Morgan and State of Indiana, have invented acertain new and useful Improvement in a Combined Pen and Seal; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of- 'the invention, such as will enable others make and use the same. a This invention relatesto improvements in pocket seals. I

The object of the inventionis to provide a notarial, checking, identifying or other skilled in the art to which it. appertains to form of seal Whichmay be readily carried in the pocket and having means whereby the 7 same may be combined with afountain pen or attached to a key ring,

With this an other objects inview, the

invention consists of certain novel features of construction, combination ,and arrangement of parts as will be more fully described and particularly pointed out in the appended claims. i

In the accompanying. drawings: Figure 1. is a side view ofthe seal combined with-a.

v fountain pen, parts being in section. Fig. 2,

is a similar view showing the arts of the device separated. Fig. 3, is a ongitudinal sectional view of the seal with-its closing and attaching member a plied thereto; and

jllig. 4, is a side View 0 theseal, showing position. 1 j

Referring more particularly to the drawings, 1, denotes theseal which preferably consists of a cylindrical body portion of suitable diameter and length, and which is provided on one end with a stationary die carrying jaw 2, of semi-circular shape and the pivoted member of the same in open.

- .having on its flat inner side the cameo portion 5, of the die which may be of any de: sired nature. I-Iingedly connected at its inner end to the body portion- 1,and stationary jaw of the seal, is the movable jaw 4, of i the seal, said jaw corresponding in sizeand' shape to the jaw 2, with which it'co-acts to form an impression. The hinged jaw 4: carries the intaglio member 3, of the die. The jaws 2' and 4, of the die are reduced at their outer ends to form a cylindrical extension 6, which is exteriorlythreaded to receive an interiorl threaded cap 7, which serves to secure t e jaws of; the seal together in closed position and also serves a further purf 7 contains]: PEN mm snarl.

"pose hereinafter described. the outer end of the extension 6, formed on the, stationary which is provided to facilitate the engagement of the thumb or finger nail with the exlatter jaw may be opened to engage the seal with the paper to be impressed. The cap while serving to secure thjaws together in to be screwed into a threaded socket 9, formedin the end of the pen 10, thus detachably securing the seal to the latter. The seal and cap when applied to a pen are preferably of the' same diameter as the pen barrel andwith the seal is adapted to beengaged the cap or protecting tube 11, of the pen when said cap-is not in engagement Wlth,

the en point.

In addition to the seal to a'fountain pen, I also rovide means with a key ring or attached to some other form of retaining device, In .orderthat the sealumaybe engaged-with the key ring, I provide an eye or oop 12,- arran ed on and secured to the end of the reduce extension 8,of thecap7. i

From the. foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the construction and operatlon of' t-he invention will be readily understood w thout requiring a more extended explanation.

and'the minor details-of construction may .be resorted to without departlng from the tages of the invention, as defined in the appended. claims.

3 Having thus described myinvention, what I claim. is:

carrying one member of the die, a movable member hingedly connected to sand body portion and stationary member" aw, said movable jaw carrying the other member of ends of'said jaws and registering to form a cylindrical member, a cap adapted to be screwed into engagement with vsaid extensions, and means on'said cap, whereby the seal may be attached to a retaining device.
